I get text and emails saying my account has been locked. Like Amazon. I never click on a link. I just go to the main Amazon website and check to make sure. I’ve gotten the package USPS unable to deliver. Really gets worse around Christmas. Jackasses need Christmas money. Easy money. Gift cards are being drained by thieves. They steal them at the store. Steam them to open. Wipe out the balance and glue the card back in it’s package and take it back to the store put it back in the rack for some unsuspecting customer to get scammed.
